that's because it got so bad that our expectations have been lowered dramatically. go back and fill your head with any episodes from seasons 5-11. then watch a new one and tell me it's surprisingly funny.

Re: the simpsons

My favorite part of all of it -- other than life imitating Simpsons -- is the part of the news report where the waitress reveals that the guy had a tab. A tab! At a family diner serving all-you-can-eat fish dinners.
